What\u2019s unique about the initiative?<\/h4>\n

Since 2014, the \u2018Our Water Our Rights\u2019 Campaign has mobilised civil society, labour and grassroots groups to resist water privatisation across Lagos, and broadened citizen engagement in resolving the city\u2019s water crisis. Against the odds, it has also increased government spending on water and sanitation in the city.<\/h3>\n

Most outstanding results<\/h4>\n

When ERA learned that Lagos state government was secretly negotiating a public-private partnership for its water supply \u2013 in a city already severely underserved in terms of water services \u2013 it decided to launch its own investigation, working with a range of national and international organisations to mobilise citizens across the capital. This entailed not only making people aware of the government\u2019s plans to privatise their water utilities, but also to educate them about what privatisation would imply.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The campaign targeted the company Visionscape Sanitation Solutions, which had the sole contract for waste management in Lagos and was also part of a public-private partnership for water. People posted photos on social media to show how dirty their streets had become since Visionscape took over waste management in Lagos. As a result the company\u2019s waste contract was terminated and the government took back control of waste management.<\/p>\n

The campaign has also had more structural successes such as the cancellation of the government\u2019s contract with the World Bank as an advisor in the privatisation scheme; pushing the government to reserve US$185 million dollars in its budget for clean water access; and uniting many different organisations, social movements and communities in Lagos under one message. While privatisation plans are still on the government\u2019s agenda, our campaign continues until the goal of water as a constitutionalised human right is achieved.<\/p>\n

Quote from the evaluation committee<\/h4>\n
\n

\u201cOur Water Our Right campaign and the coalition that \u2013 so far \u2013 has stopped the water privatisation in Lagos, reminded me of our own efforts and struggle in Cochabamba, Bolivia in 2000. With organising at the centre of their campaign, the people in Lagos are giving us a big lesson and are showing us that everything is possible.\u201d
